I am intgrigued by the new MV7, but wonder if the extra weight will be too much for a 700cc? Anybody ridden one? Also, I've heard that the extra weight will cause the beast to be classified as on OHV in some states. If so, what are the implications?

 

this thing is built like a rock, its not too much for the motor, but its going to be noticeably slower then a sportsman 700. also the handling is going to be alot tougher as the front tires are the same as the back, 25-10-12, 25-10-12. but other then that, if i had the money, id buy one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

The MV7 is industructable. I love mine. Take a look, TurboMV7

 

Friend of mine has had his for a year and a half now, very heavy and very ugly but it has been a good machine. Has lots of power but needs bigger tires, its almost as quick as a 660 grizz in a short drag.

The two winches are a great idea BUT if you get this thing stuck bad it will power out the warn 2500.....seen it many times!! Very, Very heavy, to winch it out you have to double up or have two other quads to pull it. It rides really nice and is very practical, the perfect quad for hunting or doing lots of heavy work.

But for a recreational machine.....no way!!! For the riding we do (mud, snow & trail riding) it is just too big and heavy. It is the most useless thing I have ever seen in the snow, not bad in the mud but can be very hard to get out if you get stuck -- impossible to lift by hand. A person would be waaaay better off with a sportsman 700 or 800 if you are considering a Polaris.
